My experience with Nvidia and SuSE was such that kernel upgrades
frequently broke X-windows, but 3 minutes re-running the NVidia script
broght things back in line. It wasn't favorable, but it wasn't
impossible either.
Yes indeed, every time you install a new kernel, you have to build the
matching Debian nvidia-kernel package (i.e. carefully following the
instructions ...). It takes only slightly more than 3 minutes.
